Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy w k b N and Youngstown, Ohio and
News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to
have you listen to us live in the morning, and
of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
(00:20):
Enjoy three.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in the stragis
this is your morning show with Michael, Bill, Charm, Michael Bell,
JRN Yardy silverwre just meaning more egg for you.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know, I actually had that happen to me. Nick,
My son is the only one to go to waffle
house with me mother. The rest of my family thinks
it's too filthy. No, and I have a theory on that,
you know, just like if the girls are good looking
at a Hooter's, right, that means the wings are going
to be bad okay, But if they're not good looking,
it'll be good wings. I had the same thing. I
want if waffle house is clean, I don't have anything
(01:03):
to do with it if it's the more filthy it is,
the more I assure you that's a good waffleo. The
more the silver war sticks to the countertop. So my
coffee comes and stuff's floating in it. I pull out
the spoon and there's all dried egg on it. So
I called the waitress over. Yes, lady, I said, well,
I think clearly there's something wrong here. She goes, oh,
(01:25):
I'm sorry, that's the one we clean. That's the one
we clean the pants with. She comes back with a
fresh spoon and puts it in the I said, well,
I think I'm going to need a new cup of
coffee too. That's the waffle out. But a fifty cent
sarch charge on eggs no extra charge for the charm
is really Prime Minister BBNT? Yeah, who was giving credit
(01:45):
to President Trump for the ceasfire deal. Protesters want Congress
to block Trump's agenda unless he restricts the actions of
Elon Musk. Well, you'd have to believe in their false
claims to think he needs restrictions. Simply appointed to make recommendations,
and the NFL is removing end racism message for the
first time from the Super Bowl end zone since twenty twenty.
(02:08):
It will be replaced with I think it's something love.
I have to go look that up. But obviously they're
getting rid of the end racism line in the end zone,
roy O'Neil is joining us choose love. That was it, Gosh,
I went blank. I was still thinking about the waffle
house boy, for I was just picturing you. Y'all. Bet
(02:31):
you were a Denny's guy in your day. I like
the mom and pop places versus the chains. Yeah, me too,
So there's nothing like we had. We had some of
the greatest parties. I'm sorry I said, you did have
me thinking about restaurants. I was at a Hooters in Tokyo, Japan,
and honestly that was false advertising. But anyway, Oh, that's
(02:58):
the kind of stuff that can end a career there,
I'll tell you. No, let's talk about that. What is
the future of USAID and how much influence does Elon
Musk I mean, he's appointed to look at this stuff
and make recommendations. This will ultimately, doesn't the process ultimately
(03:18):
come back to Congress as to what's approved and not
approved in budgeting?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well that's what you'd think. But now we've just had
all the employees were told that they're essentially losing their
jobs Friday night at midnight, and anyone deployed overseas has
got to get back to the US immediately. So there
are just lots of questions, like, you know, can the
White House even do this? And I think the bigger
question with must was his role in the Treasury Department
(03:43):
and sending in the young tech guys with hard drives
was something that got a lot of people concerned.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
We'll see what ends up coming of.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That, but you know, his role is a little bit murky,
and I think that's by definition.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Didn't I could again, I've been in a sea of things.
There's so much has gone on in two weeks, you know,
and then I put everything on hold and put my
full focus on both crashes. But didn't Donald Trump come
out late last week or over the weekend or early
this week. Was some kind of a statement about the
(04:18):
level of control Elon musk Haz But that obviously didn't
solve anything for anybody.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
That was Yeah, he's done a couple of statements. Well,
he made him a special government employee and there are
rules on that you can only work like one hundred
and sixty days a year, or whatever it is. But
you know, essentially they don't want to bring him in
because I don't think Musk wants to have to follow
all the ethics rules and disclosures that would come along
with having that kind of job, or the FBI background
(04:45):
check that goes along with it, because don't forget, Musk
is an international businessman. He does an awful lot of
business in China and an awful lot of business with Russia,
and you know, it does put him in a strange
position then when he has such acts as to government
information and government data, especially from Treasury.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And it hasn't I guess I'm making an opinion here,
and I should do that with a news person. But
hasn't it actually become more of an issue with it
being just him? Now, remember it was originally gonna be
him the v ak Ramaswami, had it been a team
in charge of this. But the minute it became him alone,
it just it just gives the opportunity to now to
(05:24):
create the new books. And then it.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Stirs the pot when he's on X saying that USAID
is evil, and you know, then he starts doing other
you know, so he sort of is his own worst enemy.
In that regard, rather than saying, here's my clear and
calculated review of all of USAID spending and we're going
to methodically go through ABC, A, D. And this is
where I think that's not what he's doing. Instead, it's
(05:46):
on X going look at this evil thing and it's
got to shut it down now and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, it's interesting, how do the Democrats, are the left
in general fight against this because you can't stand outside
have a protest, keep bar waste. So they're clearly trying to,
you know, message the narrative to focus on Elon Musk
and his power and control. That seems to be the strategy.
Where does it go from here calling him President Musk
and stuff. Yeah, there's not much they can do.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know, they can try to hold up some nominations
and stuff, but it doesn't seem like they're going to
get very far because the Republicans are running the table.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Royal Neil. Great report, because always we'll talk again Manyanna
coming up next half hour. We're going to visit with
John Decker. He was at that news conference. You know,
Fox just showed a picture. I'm sure you've seen shots
of Ukraine and it's just unrecognizable, uninhabitable. Quite frankly, have
you seen shots at the gaza? I mean? And this
(06:46):
is why we we talked about this little earlier famless
plug for the podcast. In your iHeartRadio app, just search
Michael del Jurner your Warning Show when you find it
had subscribed. That way, the entire show is waiting for
you every morning. But you know, we talked about I
don't you know, and getting back to Elon Musk and
what he's doing, and that transitions to the Riviera of
the Middle East proposal last night at the White House. Again,
(07:12):
this could fall under the same thing we talked about,
which was Donald Trump just out of the blue start
saying stuff like, maybe Candada should be our fifty first state.
I don't maybe we should see control of the Panama Canal.
What are they thinking in Greenland? Why do we allow this? Now?
(07:34):
Most politicians would bring up concerns or make promises in
a campaign, and then when elected, they'd explore these things
and going through the normal political process, it leads to nothing.
Not Donald Trump. He makes outrageous statements that everybody freaks
out over. Then the next thing you know, there's a negotiation,
and then the next thing, you know, he gets exactly
(07:56):
what he wanted, you know, the great trade war that
lasts all of two hours. The left said, what's your endgame?
Were you going with this? You were elected to lower
the cost of living. This is gonna skyrocket energy, This
is gonna we get all our parts from here, We
get all that. No, Canada's sixty percent of Canada's GDP
(08:20):
comes from things they buy from us. We had all
the leverage, not them. It doesn't matter what the biased
narrative news tells you. Reality, they couldn't have this. So
if they don't want to respect the United States, they
don't want to respect their own people. They don't want
to protect the border from drugs from terrorists. You want
(08:41):
to take our money. You don't want to listen to
us and do anything. All right, take it bye to
your economy. That lasted three hours Mexico, same thing that
lasted two hours. So two things went through my head
last night. Is this another one of the Trump strategies?
(09:06):
So if Donald Trump really had no intention of making
Canada the fifty first state, but waking up Canadians to
how their leadership is acting reckless and they deserve better
as a sovereign nation. I do believe that Donald Trump
absolutely and he should and I do be sick of
seeing history repeat itself. I've talked about the cycle of
(09:31):
detenant Colonel James Carafinal a million times, and we've talked
for a decade and a half and it's been going
on for five decades. This is what they do because
it's a kingdom versus kingdom motive. It's Islam at war
with Judaism. They don't want a portion of Israel, they
(09:55):
want all of it. They don't want to coexist in
a two states They want to destroy Israel. So you
keep proposing a solution, I'm gonna put your biggest data
me right next door to you, and it's gonna work
out great. Or propose after nine eleven, We're gonna give
New Jersey to al Qaeda. That way the Muslims will
(10:15):
be satisfied in a two state solution. They get Jersey,
the Christians in America get Manhattan. How do you think
that might have worked? And that's how it's been working there.
So they eventually attack, invade, commit horrific terrorist murders, take
some hostages. Israel blows them off the face of the Earth,
(10:39):
they settled, got a ceasefire, release the hostages. Everybody lives
harmoniously for about a decade until they build back up
and they attack again. But you got to look at
a visual of the Kaza strip. So everyy's gonna be outraged.
How good are you saying you're not gonna have the
Palestinians return? While he didn't say that, he's saying he
was gonna own it. Probably fill in all the tunnels,
(11:03):
rebuild it, and create a gorgeous place for them to
safely live, have jobs and prosper because the status quo
suggests even if they come back, there's nothing to come
back too. There's no ability to rebuild it, and even
if they did, it would just happen again. I loved
(11:27):
how this one NBC story is telling about how Hamas reacted.
Who cares how Ramas? They're the terrorists. There's no way
in the world that should want Hamas back in the
Palestinian territory. Is that a solution? That's the cause Russia
and China against it? Who cares? Saudi Arabia is against it? Well,
(11:49):
Saudi Arabia, what do you suggest for the Palestinian people
you're living in palaces in high rises. What are they
going to live in? And so our main point this
morning was was that out of the blue? Yeah? Is
it a legitimate idea and solution? Yeah? Is it gonna
(12:10):
go over big no? Is it gonna be problematic? Yes?
It's an idea though, And if you hate it, or
if you want to mock it or make fun of it,
what's your idea? Because nothing, at the end of the day,
is worse than just moving forward the way we have
for the last five decades. Nothing is more predictably unstable
(12:31):
for the Palestinians like everything Donald Trump comes out with
out of the By the way, when he said rivier
of the Middle East? Even Iwent, are you kidding me?
Is this Friday's with forty seven? What is this the
rivier of the Middle East? Well, we're gonna have nightclub
(12:54):
acts cause he buffets Rivier of the Middle East. But
is this another one of those crazy again or is
he five steps ahead of us and he's got something
brilliant We haven't figured out yet. I don't know, but
time will tell.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Just like you, we have a hard time figuring out
where we want to go on vacation too. It's hard
to get the whole family to get excited and agree.
What if you could sit down and have a Gaza
Strip steak and a beautiful Roots Chris steakhouse in the
Gaza Strip Caesar's Palace in the Riviera of the Middle East.
(13:40):
Wouldn't that be a wonderful getaway for you and the family?
If you're interested? Called one eight hundred Are you out
of your mind? That's one eight hundred? Are you out
of your mind? Or learn more online as anything beats
Disney dot com. That's anything beats Disney dot com. What
does that have to do with it? I Donald Trump
(14:02):
takes the United States on the Kaza Strip and make
something really spectacular, something really beautiful, very opulent, very classy,
very beautiful, very safe. It'll be the Riviera of the
Middle East. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we
will do a job with it to We'll own it.
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who met the
White House Tuesday with Netanyah, who becoming the first foreign
leader to meet with Trump in his second term. Trump
says he held fantastic talks with Netanyaho, with the Israeli
Prime Minister calling Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had.
(14:35):
In the White House, the President said the US should
own the Gaza Strip and be responsible for dismantling all
of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons there. Earlier
in the day, Trump said that people would not want
to go back to Gaza because of the destruction in
the area.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Mark Mayfield, we could also purchase the south side of Chicago,
create a beautiful safe place and do time sharing between
the rivier and the Gaza. Hellan it hellone, it All.
Sixty seven victims in last week's deadly midair crash in Washington,
d C Has been recovered. That's very important for the
(15:10):
grief process and the family members. Brian Shook has more
officials confirmed the news.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
On Tuesday, an American Airlines plane collided with an Army
Blackhawk helicopter, causing both to fall into the Potomac River.
The cockpit and tail from the regional jet were recovered
earlier in the day. The crash was the deadliest in
the US since two thousand and one.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm Brian Shook and in sports, Cavs loss to the Celtics.
Blazers won by twenty three over the Pacers, Lakers beat
the Clippers one twenty two to ninety seven on the ice,
Red Wings one Blues fell in overtime two to one
of the Oilers, Caps six three over the Panthers, Lightning
one four to three over the Senators, and the Ducks
beat the Stars two to one. Birthdays Country singer Sarah
Evans is fifty four, Snllum, Tim Meadows sixty three, and
(15:56):
Darryl Waltrump seventy eight years old. I just realized I've
not told my Darrel Waltrip story booky Boogety boogey when
we come back, my Daryl Waltrip story.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
I'm jeff Eddie with Efficient Hating and Cooling, and my
morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Enjoy the podcast. Jeffrey's got the controls read keeping an
eye on the content. And I am here to serve you.
We did have an NTSB news conference yesterday. In it
two big things. One, just as we had hoped and suspected,
when the rest of the wreckage was removed from the Potomac,
we got the rest of the remains. So all sixty
(16:53):
seven bodies have now been recovered in the loss after
the mid air collision in Washington, d C. That is
so important for the grieving process and for the family
members to get their loved ones bodies back. Thank God
for that the data information, we got clarity on that.
And remember the early discrepancy. Well, it turns out that
Blackhawk was at three hundred feet and rising at last report,
(17:17):
So it was the Blackhawk helicopter that went over its
ceiling by over one hundred feet. Now why they're within
one hundred feet is beyond me. Still no clarification on
the switching from runway one to thirty three and changing
the approach angles, if that played any role in it.
But altitude alone has been confirmed that black Hawk was
too high. RFK Junior and Telsa Gabbard, both out of
(17:39):
committee headed for confirmation. Pam Bondi has already received confirmation.
If you I'm sure you've seen some of the viral clips.
Nothing quite I think as disturbing is Maxine Waters and
Chuckie Schumer what appeared to be a full Grand Mall
seizure or stroke but leading chance as a Democrats search
(18:00):
for a message, search for a boogeyman, and it turns
out it's Elon Musk, and they're fighting to the death
against cutting of waste and AOC has made it clear
that Elon Musk might be the most unintelligent billionaire she's
ever seen. The former bartender basically thinks Elon Musk is
(18:24):
the most unintelligent billionaire she's ever seen, even though he
has revolutionized the auto industry and space travel and found
a way to get a booster rocket to return to
earth Land softly and hook itself back up to its clamps. Well,
she's an uppity girl, and uh army, the US Army smashed.
(18:49):
You don't have to do that. I'm not senile. I
have the same agent as Joe Biden, but I'm not sennile.
Through interviews, I don't slept through one interview. Are you
talking on the air or just in my ear? Well,
I'm talking on the year. This is on the year.
The United States Army smashed its recruiting records in December.
Let's see what happened in November. Oh, Trump got elected.
(19:10):
Biggest numbers they've seen in over fifteen months, very good news.
We were talking about birthdays and I still haven't given
his his age, but I want to tell a quick
d W story. So and I wasn't the biggest. When
I was very young, Indie racing was huge and I
knew them all loved it. In fact, my brother when
(19:34):
he first got his driver's license, we go for drives
and he was Vic Mers, oh really like Rick Mers,
pick Meors, and he would take the turns real fast,
Rick me Rick Meres won it. AJ Foyt, the Unser Brothers, Mario,
the Andrettes. I mean, you know, that was bigger than life.
I don't think younger people today can even relate to that,
(19:55):
but I remember there was Richard Patty came along like
kind of when I was early in high school, and
I knew him mainly from you know, the Goodies commercials,
the aspirin good because nobody watched what we called at
that time stock car racing. Now nobody watches Indy And
of course NASCAR is everything, so not until I met
(20:19):
my wife, And that is one thing my father in
law turned me onto. You come to my house, there's
a baseball game on, a basketball game on, a hockey game,
or a football game on. That's it, depending on what's
or maybe golf the four seasons. Yeah, and maybe even
a little Frankie Valley in the background. And then I'd
go to my father in law's house and NASCAR was
(20:41):
always on. And you know, then I got it, got
re reintroduced to racing. And people forget this now. I
mean a was Darrel Walter Pricgrey Champion, Yes, but he
was like the Raiders. He was like the bad guy.
People got that he was the villain. Oh, absolutely he was.
(21:02):
He was the intimidator before Darryl right, so naturally I
gravitated towards him and and he was my favorite. Sorry
flash forward. Now I'm at Christmas in America. I don't
know what it is now, probably seven years ago, could
be more. And Christmas in America is done in two acts.
It's a live radio broadcast and then it becomes a
(21:23):
national radio show. And so in between acts, David Zanati
comes from backstage and he's mingling with some people. So
I thought I'll go over and hug my friend and
you know, encourage him. I thought the first first act
was great. There's some as a gentleman standing with a
woman and they're facing away from me, and I'm kind
(21:45):
of standing to the side of them and behind and
waiting for my chance to talk to David. And the
person turns around. Now what I didn't even know Daryl
Walter lived in Nashville, real number one, all right, what
would he'd be doing it Christmas in America? I didn't
know he was a Christian's hometown, all right. So but
I don't know that I you know, and he turns around. Well,
(22:08):
and I've said this to you. A major star can
be right in front of me and I don't even blink. Sure,
but a major athlete it makes me speechless. Well, I
cannot tell you. And it was because A who was
expecting it? And B it was Daryl waltrip for crying
out loud, it was Daryl Waldeon. It's like when I
was at the Disney Store and I bumped into Chris
(22:29):
Scott Hamilton. I mean that was it, you know. So
I just look at him and he goes I'm Daryl,
and he goes to shake my hand and I'm literally
like a serenite live character. I can't speak. You go amanahamanama,
and you know. And when I get in those moments,
I'm like staring at his hand. I'm going, that's the
hand that was on the tearing wheels. Looking down his feet,
(22:50):
that's the feet around the pedals. I'm like in a
full spin here as he's trying to talk to me,
I don't even know what I was saying. I was
just glazed over. And he goes, this is my wife, Stevie.
It's still beautiful. And I looked at her and I
finally uttered words, guess what came out of my mouth? What?
This is the most embarrassing moment of my life. I
(23:10):
don't think you're ready for it. I said, you're married
to Daryl Waltrip Well, she cracked up. She goes, yes,
I am. I have been for a long time, and
that's why I was. Now flash forward, we're at a
wedding together. Now we're friends. Now we're family. That was
an awkward way to meet, but now we're friends. We're family.
(23:31):
So I have one of those cars that has the
automatic ignition that starts by your key. I'm at the wedding.
At the wedding, I feel very overdressed, okay, And I
tell Darryl, I said, I almost wore exactly what you
were wearing. I should have done that because the wedding
was in a church, but the reception was in a barn.
How do you dress for such a thing. And then
when I'm at the wedding, I'm realizing, Wow, I'm the
(23:52):
only guy wearing a suit. So I said, Daryl, I'm
going to swing home and I'm going to change real quick,
and we'll see at the reception. I think you look
five d W B buckey. How gonna go and change it?
So andrews in the car. I pull in the driveway.
I just leave the cars. I'd be right back, and
I run in and I just switched to kind of
(24:13):
like a like jeans with like a casual blazer that
kind of a look kind of a Western. Not realizing
that when I took off my soup pants, the car
keys are in it, but the car is still running.
I put on my jeans. So then I get in
the car and I drive to this barn and Leapersport,
and then I turned the ignition off, and that's when
I realize, oh wait, I'm kind of part funny, let
(24:35):
me straighten out. And I went to start the car
and it wouldn't start. And then after a few minutes,
because the last thing you think about is well, you
don't have the keys in your pants anymore. So the
whole time at this wedding reception, I know I'm stranded.
What do I do? My kids aren't of age to
drive yet. How do I get my keys? No way.
So I'm sitting talking to Darryl and Michael Carr was
at that wedding. His daughter was the one that married
my friend's son. And uh boy, what a what a
(24:58):
treasure he is fide A Rose, so many great songs
known by the Scars. And I'm sitting with d W
and Stevie and and so d W looks at me
and I bring up that you know, I'm stranded. I
don't know what I'm gonna do. My keys are in
my pants at home. This was prior to Uber too.
Probably Oh well, I mean no, I probably could have.
Maybe there was Uber. And so d W looks at
me and goes, well, take my car. I said, what
(25:23):
I could? He just hands me the keys. He goes,
just take my car home, and I thought, wow, I
mean that's generous, right, you know. And then Stevie looks
at me. He goes, and be careful. That's his baby.
He's had like this one car that he really loves
and has kept and it is. It's immaculate. It looks
brand new. And so then I don't know, in the
course of the evening, we start telling some stories about
(25:46):
me getting pulled over and then my car accident, you know,
and all this stuff. Then about thirty minutes later, the
bride and the groom are dancing and d w walks
up to me. I'm standing there watching this beautiful father
daughter more and he goes, Michael, oh yeah, I no
longer feel comfortable you're driving my car. Give me those
(26:08):
keys back. I just word of God, Stevie, and I
will drive you home. Then you can get your keasy,
come back and get your car. I no longer feel comfortable.
So then the whole evening goes on, and it ends
with Andrew and I getting in the back seat with
Stevie and Daryl Waltrip and I'm getting an uber from
(26:29):
Darryl Waltrip. The legend and the whole Let me tell you,
people always say, did he drive fat? It was the
smoothest you want to talk about a moment where you're
just like, you know, nothing can happen to me right now?
Could I be any safer? Darryl Waltrip is driving me,
and I'm looking at his hands on the steering wheel,
(26:51):
and at this point I know, I'm like, Darrel, I
still look at your hands on the steering wheel, and
I'm Marvel and I go, were you kind of a
ten and two guy? And then he starts giving me
a lesson because all the kids today are driving three
and nine or ten and two. Sure, And he taught
me a trick and it's one hand eleven. And he
(27:12):
was saying, now, remember they go around the track counterclockwise.
But basically all you do is point your fist where
you want to go. It's not even anything you got
to think about. And I thought it's brilliant. Then I
got my car and I did it. It's a great story.
But Daryl Walter d w look at how I met him,
We become friends. He's gonna give me his car. I
(27:34):
changed the tires in a pit. He's gonna give me
his car that after hearing some stories, he no longer
feels comfortable. I got out of him, and I thought,
only in America, only as a child of God can
this happen people that I grew up. It's like when
I'm hanging out with john Ford Coley. I mean, I
can see myself sit in an Indian style in my
(27:55):
room listening to his albums. Now I'm friends with them,
but I mean, out of all my stories, I got
a new berg from Darryl Waltrs. That's a very good story.
The champd W. Buggety, Boo Booge and Buggety seventy eight
years old today. I'm so glad you were for first term.
So glad you're alive. Can't believe you didn't trust me
with your car, but thanks for the uber ride home.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
This is your morning show with Michael del Choono.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Can't have your morning show without you though your voice,
and no longer do you wait on hold for a
talk show host to come to you instantly. You can connect,
sit down at the breakfast table with all of us
and let your voice be heard. Ask a question, make
a comment. Use the talk back line on your iHeartRadio app.
It's a little microphone. You pressed it, it'll count you
down and you can make your comment or ask your
(28:43):
question and you're immediately a part of the show, as
it should be on your show. Israeli Prime Minister bb Netanyah,
who is giving credit to President Trump for the ceasefire
deal in the Gaza protesters want Congress to block Trump's
agenda unless he restricts the actions of Elon Musk keep
bar waste, day bar waste their chanting, and the NFL
(29:05):
is removing end racism. Would we say the new messages
something love chews Love, Choose Love is replacing end racism
in the end zone messaging of the Superdome in New
Orleans for the Super Bowl. And speaking of the Super Bowl,
Chris Myers, play by play guy for Fox ESPN for decades,
started his second job I believe of his career was
New Orleans. He was our local sports guy. We're going
(29:26):
to catch back up with each other and preview this
big matchup between the Chiefs and the Eagles. I know
nobody wanted to see it, but really, when you start
x's and oing and looking at key players and matchups
should be a heck of a football game. We'll preview
it for you coming up. There is no bigger story
than Donald Trump beginning to lay out the vision of
the riviera of the Middle East, US ownership of the
(29:49):
Gaza Strip that was revealed in the news conference with
BBNET yea who at the White House and our very
own John Decker was there. I know because I saw
him several times as I was watching. Good Morning John.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Hey, good morning to you, Michael. I hope you're doing
well today.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I'm doing great. Okay, Well, that was one out of
the blue. I wasn't expecting. You know, reaction is starting
to come in from around the world. What was the
reaction in the room when Donald Trump brought up the
possibilities of US ownership of the Gaza Strip And how
does all of this lay play out and where does
(30:23):
it go from here?
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Well, I think it's fair to say that jaws dropped.
Trump said that. I think that's a pretty accurate read
on the room. I heard some murmurings around me in
the seat that I was in, not far from where
President Trump was talking when he said that. So we'll
have to see. You know, this is the latest of
(30:45):
President Trump's territorial ambitions. He's talked about Canada as a
fifty first date. He's spoken about buying Greenland, and he's
talking about getting back to Panama Canal. And now this,
which is ownership of the guys A strip. Had not
heard that one before. Although it's not a new idea.
The idea you look it up first post in May
(31:09):
of last year by a person named Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner,
who of course is President Trump's son in law, who
is now involved in the real estate business in a
big way and would love to develop all of that
land that's on the Mediterranean, that's in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I do want to do something that's going to make
you mad and say, I mean, first of all, he's
a Supreme Court bar attorney. He's been a White House
correspondent for eight presidencies, all right, and I love him
so like in real life, this is going on and
I'll text him, I'll go, what do you make of it?
And he always responds to saying, way, I just report
the news. I mean, you're never even there for friend,
(31:47):
all right. So here were my reactions. You know, you
bring up that laundry list. As you can see, a
deal has already been made in Panama concerning China. Canada
has already got a thirty day pause, one point three
billion headed to the border with a fentanyl Czar Mexico
thirty day pause, ten thousand troops coming to the border.
(32:08):
I don't think it was ever about Canada being the
fifty first state as much as Donald Trump using it
and negotiating. So that makes me suspicious. Could this be
something like that? But I will say this, John, you
can make fun of it all you want, but the
reality is, if you look any of the footage, how
can these Palestinians return to rubble and have any kind
of life? And what breaks this fifty year cycle? So
(32:29):
make fun of the idea, and it was out of
the blue, But does anybody have a better idea?
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Well, I have heard better ideas, and that is the
Arab countries in the region, which have a lot of
money developing Gaza and rebuilding Gaza. That's what I've heard about.
And as it relates to reaction, not a good reaction
from the leaders of Jordan, from Egypt, from Saudi Arabia.
I haven't heard specifically anecdotal reactions from Palestinians that now
(32:59):
live in but I'm sure they're not excited about the
prospect of being kicked out of their home. Two million
Gosins lived there and they would be moved out indefinitely,
and no talk of what the international community has called
for and what former presidents, including at one point President Trump,
(33:20):
called for, which is a two state solution, a free
Palestinian state and autonomous Palestinian state side by side with
the state of Israel. That's not happening under Donald Trump's vision.
I think that's one of the reasons why you saw
Benjamin net Yahoo, the Israeli Prime Minister, really in a
good place yesterday. You know, you could tell by his
(33:41):
body language he really likes the fact that Donald Trump
is president rather than his predecessor Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, there was no question about that. Game credit for
the cease fire deal. All right, Well, we'll see where
it goes. I think the President made it clear in
a Q and a response that the Palestinians, along with
the people of the world, would all live there in
a safe place with great jobs and beautiful, beautiful buildings
and restaurants. It was bizarre. There doesn't seem to be
(34:07):
any reaction or support. I don't know that it goes
anywhere but time will tell and you were there, John Decker,
thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Ndheld, Joano
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy w k b N and Youngstown, Ohio and
News Radio one thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to
have you listen to us live in the morning, and
of course we're so grateful you came for the podcast.
(00:20):
Enjoy three.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in the stragis
this is your morning show with Michael, Bill, Charm, Michael Bell,
JRN Yardy silverwre just meaning more egg for you.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You know, I actually had that happen to me. Nick,
My son is the only one to go to waffle
house with me mother. The rest of my family thinks
it's too filthy. No, and I have a theory on that,
you know, just like if the girls are good looking
at a Hooter's, right, that means the wings are going
to be bad okay, But if they're not good looking,
it'll be good wings. I had the same thing. I
want if waffle house is clean, I don't have anything
(01:03):
to do with it if it's the more filthy it is,
the more I assure you that's a good waffleo. The
more the silver war sticks to the countertop. So my
coffee comes and stuff's floating in it. I pull out
the spoon and there's all dried egg on it. So
I called the waitress over. Yes, lady, I said, well,
I think clearly there's something wrong here. She goes, oh,
(01:25):
I'm sorry, that's the one we clean. That's the one
we clean the pants with. She comes back with a
fresh spoon and puts it in the I said, well,
I think I'm going to need a new cup of
coffee too. That's the waffle out. But a fifty cent
sarch charge on eggs no extra charge for the charm
is really Prime Minister BBNT? Yeah, who was giving credit
(01:45):
to President Trump for the ceasfire deal. Protesters want Congress
to block Trump's agenda unless he restricts the actions of
Elon Musk. Well, you'd have to believe in their false
claims to think he needs restrictions. Simply appointed to make recommendations,
and the NFL is removing end racism message for the
first time from the Super Bowl end zone since twenty twenty.
(02:08):
It will be replaced with I think it's something love.
I have to go look that up. But obviously they're
getting rid of the end racism line in the end zone,
roy O'Neil is joining us choose love. That was it, Gosh,
I went blank. I was still thinking about the waffle
house boy, for I was just picturing you. Y'all. Bet
(02:31):
you were a Denny's guy in your day. I like
the mom and pop places versus the chains. Yeah, me too,
So there's nothing like we had. We had some of
the greatest parties. I'm sorry I said, you did have
me thinking about restaurants. I was at a Hooters in Tokyo, Japan,
and honestly that was false advertising. But anyway, Oh, that's
(02:58):
the kind of stuff that can end a career there,
I'll tell you. No, let's talk about that. What is
the future of USAID and how much influence does Elon
Musk I mean, he's appointed to look at this stuff
and make recommendations. This will ultimately, doesn't the process ultimately
(03:18):
come back to Congress as to what's approved and not
approved in budgeting?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well that's what you'd think. But now we've just had
all the employees were told that they're essentially losing their
jobs Friday night at midnight, and anyone deployed overseas has
got to get back to the US immediately. So there
are just lots of questions, like, you know, can the
White House even do this? And I think the bigger
question with must was his role in the Treasury Department
(03:43):
and sending in the young tech guys with hard drives
was something that got a lot of people concerned.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
We'll see what ends up coming of.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That, but you know, his role is a little bit murky,
and I think that's by definition.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Didn't I could again, I've been in a sea of things.
There's so much has gone on in two weeks, you know,
and then I put everything on hold and put my
full focus on both crashes. But didn't Donald Trump come
out late last week or over the weekend or early
this week. Was some kind of a statement about the
(04:18):
level of control Elon musk Haz But that obviously didn't
solve anything for anybody.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
That was Yeah, he's done a couple of statements. Well,
he made him a special government employee and there are
rules on that you can only work like one hundred
and sixty days a year, or whatever it is. But
you know, essentially they don't want to bring him in
because I don't think Musk wants to have to follow
all the ethics rules and disclosures that would come along
with having that kind of job, or the FBI background
(04:45):
check that goes along with it, because don't forget, Musk
is an international businessman. He does an awful lot of
business in China and an awful lot of business with Russia,
and you know, it does put him in a strange
position then when he has such acts as to government
information and government data, especially from Treasury.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And it hasn't I guess I'm making an opinion here,
and I should do that with a news person. But
hasn't it actually become more of an issue with it
being just him? Now, remember it was originally gonna be
him the v ak Ramaswami, had it been a team
in charge of this. But the minute it became him alone,
it just it just gives the opportunity to now to
(05:24):
create the new books. And then it.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Stirs the pot when he's on X saying that USAID
is evil, and you know, then he starts doing other
you know, so he sort of is his own worst enemy.
In that regard, rather than saying, here's my clear and
calculated review of all of USAID spending and we're going
to methodically go through ABC, A, D. And this is
where I think that's not what he's doing. Instead, it's
(05:46):
on X going look at this evil thing and it's
got to shut it down now and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, it's interesting, how do the Democrats, are the left
in general fight against this because you can't stand outside
have a protest, keep bar waste. So they're clearly trying to,
you know, message the narrative to focus on Elon Musk
and his power and control. That seems to be the strategy.
Where does it go from here calling him President Musk
and stuff. Yeah, there's not much they can do.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
You know, they can try to hold up some nominations
and stuff, but it doesn't seem like they're going to
get very far because the Republicans are running the table.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Royal Neil. Great report, because always we'll talk again Manyanna
coming up next half hour. We're going to visit with
John Decker. He was at that news conference. You know,
Fox just showed a picture. I'm sure you've seen shots
of Ukraine and it's just unrecognizable, uninhabitable. Quite frankly, have
you seen shots at the gaza? I mean? And this
(06:46):
is why we we talked about this little earlier famless
plug for the podcast. In your iHeartRadio app, just search
Michael del Jurner your Warning Show when you find it
had subscribed. That way, the entire show is waiting for
you every morning. But you know, we talked about I
don't you know, and getting back to Elon Musk and
what he's doing, and that transitions to the Riviera of
the Middle East proposal last night at the White House. Again,
(07:12):
this could fall under the same thing we talked about,
which was Donald Trump just out of the blue start
saying stuff like, maybe Candada should be our fifty first state.
I don't maybe we should see control of the Panama Canal.
What are they thinking in Greenland? Why do we allow this? Now?
(07:34):
Most politicians would bring up concerns or make promises in
a campaign, and then when elected, they'd explore these things
and going through the normal political process, it leads to nothing.
Not Donald Trump. He makes outrageous statements that everybody freaks
out over. Then the next thing you know, there's a negotiation,
and then the next thing, you know, he gets exactly
(07:56):
what he wanted, you know, the great trade war that
lasts all of two hours. The left said, what's your endgame?
Were you going with this? You were elected to lower
the cost of living. This is gonna skyrocket energy, This
is gonna we get all our parts from here, We
get all that. No, Canada's sixty percent of Canada's GDP
(08:20):
comes from things they buy from us. We had all
the leverage, not them. It doesn't matter what the biased
narrative news tells you. Reality, they couldn't have this. So
if they don't want to respect the United States, they
don't want to respect their own people. They don't want
to protect the border from drugs from terrorists. You want
(08:41):
to take our money. You don't want to listen to
us and do anything. All right, take it bye to
your economy. That lasted three hours Mexico, same thing that
lasted two hours. So two things went through my head
last night. Is this another one of the Trump strategies?
(09:06):
So if Donald Trump really had no intention of making
Canada the fifty first state, but waking up Canadians to
how their leadership is acting reckless and they deserve better
as a sovereign nation. I do believe that Donald Trump
absolutely and he should and I do be sick of
seeing history repeat itself. I've talked about the cycle of
(09:31):
detenant Colonel James Carafinal a million times, and we've talked
for a decade and a half and it's been going
on for five decades. This is what they do because
it's a kingdom versus kingdom motive. It's Islam at war
with Judaism. They don't want a portion of Israel, they
(09:55):
want all of it. They don't want to coexist in
a two states They want to destroy Israel. So you
keep proposing a solution, I'm gonna put your biggest data
me right next door to you, and it's gonna work
out great. Or propose after nine eleven, We're gonna give
New Jersey to al Qaeda. That way the Muslims will
(10:15):
be satisfied in a two state solution. They get Jersey,
the Christians in America get Manhattan. How do you think
that might have worked? And that's how it's been working there.
So they eventually attack, invade, commit horrific terrorist murders, take
some hostages. Israel blows them off the face of the Earth,
(10:39):
they settled, got a ceasefire, release the hostages. Everybody lives
harmoniously for about a decade until they build back up
and they attack again. But you got to look at
a visual of the Kaza strip. So everyy's gonna be outraged.
How good are you saying you're not gonna have the
Palestinians return? While he didn't say that, he's saying he
was gonna own it. Probably fill in all the tunnels,
(11:03):
rebuild it, and create a gorgeous place for them to
safely live, have jobs and prosper because the status quo
suggests even if they come back, there's nothing to come
back too. There's no ability to rebuild it, and even
if they did, it would just happen again. I loved
(11:27):
how this one NBC story is telling about how Hamas reacted.
Who cares how Ramas? They're the terrorists. There's no way
in the world that should want Hamas back in the
Palestinian territory. Is that a solution? That's the cause Russia
and China against it? Who cares? Saudi Arabia is against it? Well,
(11:49):
Saudi Arabia, what do you suggest for the Palestinian people
you're living in palaces in high rises. What are they
going to live in? And so our main point this
morning was was that out of the blue? Yeah? Is
it a legitimate idea and solution? Yeah? Is it gonna
(12:10):
go over big no? Is it gonna be problematic? Yes?
It's an idea though, And if you hate it, or
if you want to mock it or make fun of it,
what's your idea? Because nothing, at the end of the day,
is worse than just moving forward the way we have
for the last five decades. Nothing is more predictably unstable
(12:31):
for the Palestinians like everything Donald Trump comes out with
out of the By the way, when he said rivier
of the Middle East? Even Iwent, are you kidding me?
Is this Friday's with forty seven? What is this the
rivier of the Middle East? Well, we're gonna have nightclub
(12:54):
acts cause he buffets Rivier of the Middle East. But
is this another one of those crazy again or is
he five steps ahead of us and he's got something
brilliant We haven't figured out yet. I don't know, but
time will tell.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Just like you, we have a hard time figuring out
where we want to go on vacation too. It's hard
to get the whole family to get excited and agree.
What if you could sit down and have a Gaza
Strip steak and a beautiful Roots Chris steakhouse in the
Gaza Strip Caesar's Palace in the Riviera of the Middle East.
(13:40):
Wouldn't that be a wonderful getaway for you and the family?
If you're interested? Called one eight hundred Are you out
of your mind? That's one eight hundred? Are you out
of your mind? Or learn more online as anything beats
Disney dot com. That's anything beats Disney dot com. What
does that have to do with it? I Donald Trump
(14:02):
takes the United States on the Kaza Strip and make
something really spectacular, something really beautiful, very opulent, very classy,
very beautiful, very safe. It'll be the Riviera of the
Middle East. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we
will do a job with it to We'll own it.
Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who met the
White House Tuesday with Netanyah, who becoming the first foreign
leader to meet with Trump in his second term. Trump
says he held fantastic talks with Netanyaho, with the Israeli
Prime Minister calling Trump the greatest friend Israel has ever had.
(14:35):
In the White House, the President said the US should
own the Gaza Strip and be responsible for dismantling all
of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons there. Earlier
in the day, Trump said that people would not want
to go back to Gaza because of the destruction in
the area.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Mark Mayfield, we could also purchase the south side of Chicago,
create a beautiful safe place and do time sharing between
the rivier and the Gaza. Hellan it hellone, it All.
Sixty seven victims in last week's deadly midair crash in Washington,
d C Has been recovered. That's very important for the
(15:10):
grief process and the family members. Brian Shook has more
officials confirmed the news.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
On Tuesday, an American Airlines plane collided with an Army
Blackhawk helicopter, causing both to fall into the Potomac River.
The cockpit and tail from the regional jet were recovered
earlier in the day. The crash was the deadliest in
the US since two thousand and one.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm Brian Shook and in sports, Cavs loss to the Celtics.
Blazers won by twenty three over the Pacers, Lakers beat
the Clippers one twenty two to ninety seven on the ice,
Red Wings one Blues fell in overtime two to one
of the Oilers, Caps six three over the Panthers, Lightning
one four to three over the Senators, and the Ducks
beat the Stars two to one. Birthdays Country singer Sarah
Evans is fifty four, Snllum, Tim Meadows sixty three, and
(15:56):
Darryl Waltrump seventy eight years old. I just realized I've
not told my Darrel Waltrip story booky Boogety boogey when
we come back, my Daryl Waltrip story.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
I'm jeff Eddie with Efficient Hating and Cooling, and my
morning show is Your Morning Show with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Hi, It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Your Morning Show airs live five to eight am Central,
six to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Enjoy the podcast. Jeffrey's got the controls read keeping an
eye on the content. And I am here to serve you.
We did have an NTSB news conference yesterday. In it
two big things. One, just as we had hoped and suspected,
when the rest of the wreckage was removed from the Potomac,
we got the rest of the remains. So all sixty
(16:53):
seven bodies have now been recovered in the loss after
the mid air collision in Washington, d C. That is
so important for the grieving process and for the family
members to get their loved ones bodies back. Thank God
for that the data information, we got clarity on that.
And remember the early discrepancy. Well, it turns out that
Blackhawk was at three hundred feet and rising at last report,
(17:17):
So it was the Blackhawk helicopter that went over its
ceiling by over one hundred feet. Now why they're within
one hundred feet is beyond me. Still no clarification on
the switching from runway one to thirty three and changing
the approach angles, if that played any role in it.
But altitude alone has been confirmed that black Hawk was
too high. RFK Junior and Telsa Gabbard, both out of
(17:39):
committee headed for confirmation. Pam Bondi has already received confirmation.
If you I'm sure you've seen some of the viral clips.
Nothing quite I think as disturbing is Maxine Waters and
Chuckie Schumer what appeared to be a full Grand Mall
seizure or stroke but leading chance as a Democrats search
(18:00):
for a message, search for a boogeyman, and it turns
out it's Elon Musk, and they're fighting to the death
against cutting of waste and AOC has made it clear
that Elon Musk might be the most unintelligent billionaire she's
ever seen. The former bartender basically thinks Elon Musk is
(18:24):
the most unintelligent billionaire she's ever seen, even though he
has revolutionized the auto industry and space travel and found
a way to get a booster rocket to return to
earth Land softly and hook itself back up to its clamps. Well,
she's an uppity girl, and uh army, the US Army smashed.
(18:49):
You don't have to do that. I'm not senile. I
have the same agent as Joe Biden, but I'm not sennile.
Through interviews, I don't slept through one interview. Are you
talking on the air or just in my ear? Well,
I'm talking on the year. This is on the year.
The United States Army smashed its recruiting records in December.
Let's see what happened in November. Oh, Trump got elected.
(19:10):
Biggest numbers they've seen in over fifteen months, very good news.
We were talking about birthdays and I still haven't given
his his age, but I want to tell a quick
d W story. So and I wasn't the biggest. When
I was very young, Indie racing was huge and I
knew them all loved it. In fact, my brother when
(19:34):
he first got his driver's license, we go for drives
and he was Vic Mers, oh really like Rick Mers,
pick Meors, and he would take the turns real fast,
Rick me Rick Meres won it. AJ Foyt, the Unser Brothers, Mario,
the Andrettes. I mean, you know, that was bigger than life.
I don't think younger people today can even relate to that,
(19:55):
but I remember there was Richard Patty came along like
kind of when I was early in high school, and
I knew him mainly from you know, the Goodies commercials,
the aspirin good because nobody watched what we called at
that time stock car racing. Now nobody watches Indy And
of course NASCAR is everything, so not until I met
(20:19):
my wife, And that is one thing my father in
law turned me onto. You come to my house, there's
a baseball game on, a basketball game on, a hockey game,
or a football game on. That's it, depending on what's
or maybe golf the four seasons. Yeah, and maybe even
a little Frankie Valley in the background. And then I'd
go to my father in law's house and NASCAR was
(20:41):
always on. And you know, then I got it, got
re reintroduced to racing. And people forget this now. I
mean a was Darrel Walter Pricgrey Champion, Yes, but he
was like the Raiders. He was like the bad guy.
People got that he was the villain. Oh, absolutely he was.
(21:02):
He was the intimidator before Darryl right, so naturally I
gravitated towards him and and he was my favorite. Sorry
flash forward. Now I'm at Christmas in America. I don't
know what it is now, probably seven years ago, could
be more. And Christmas in America is done in two acts.
It's a live radio broadcast and then it becomes a
(21:23):
national radio show. And so in between acts, David Zanati
comes from backstage and he's mingling with some people. So
I thought I'll go over and hug my friend and
you know, encourage him. I thought the first first act
was great. There's some as a gentleman standing with a
woman and they're facing away from me, and I'm kind
(21:45):
of standing to the side of them and behind and
waiting for my chance to talk to David. And the
person turns around. Now what I didn't even know Daryl
Walter lived in Nashville, real number one, all right, what
would he'd be doing it Christmas in America? I didn't
know he was a Christian's hometown, all right. So but
I don't know that I you know, and he turns around. Well,
(22:08):
and I've said this to you. A major star can
be right in front of me and I don't even blink. Sure,
but a major athlete it makes me speechless. Well, I
cannot tell you. And it was because A who was
expecting it? And B it was Daryl waltrip for crying
out loud, it was Daryl Waldeon. It's like when I
was at the Disney Store and I bumped into Chris
(22:29):
Scott Hamilton. I mean that was it, you know. So
I just look at him and he goes I'm Daryl,
and he goes to shake my hand and I'm literally
like a serenite live character. I can't speak. You go amanahamanama,
and you know. And when I get in those moments,
I'm like staring at his hand. I'm going, that's the
hand that was on the tearing wheels. Looking down his feet,
(22:50):
that's the feet around the pedals. I'm like in a
full spin here as he's trying to talk to me,
I don't even know what I was saying. I was
just glazed over. And he goes, this is my wife, Stevie.
It's still beautiful. And I looked at her and I
finally uttered words, guess what came out of my mouth? What?
This is the most embarrassing moment of my life. I
(23:10):
don't think you're ready for it. I said, you're married
to Daryl Waltrip Well, she cracked up. She goes, yes,
I am. I have been for a long time, and
that's why I was. Now flash forward, we're at a
wedding together. Now we're friends. Now we're family. That was
an awkward way to meet, but now we're friends. We're family.
(23:31):
So I have one of those cars that has the
automatic ignition that starts by your key. I'm at the wedding.
At the wedding, I feel very overdressed, okay, And I
tell Darryl, I said, I almost wore exactly what you
were wearing. I should have done that because the wedding
was in a church, but the reception was in a barn.
How do you dress for such a thing. And then
when I'm at the wedding, I'm realizing, Wow, I'm the
(23:52):
only guy wearing a suit. So I said, Daryl, I'm
going to swing home and I'm going to change real quick,
and we'll see at the reception. I think you look
five d W B buckey. How gonna go and change it?
So andrews in the car. I pull in the driveway.
I just leave the cars. I'd be right back, and
I run in and I just switched to kind of
(24:13):
like a like jeans with like a casual blazer that
kind of a look kind of a Western. Not realizing
that when I took off my soup pants, the car
keys are in it, but the car is still running.
I put on my jeans. So then I get in
the car and I drive to this barn and Leapersport,
and then I turned the ignition off, and that's when
I realize, oh wait, I'm kind of part funny, let
(24:35):
me straighten out. And I went to start the car
and it wouldn't start. And then after a few minutes,
because the last thing you think about is well, you
don't have the keys in your pants anymore. So the
whole time at this wedding reception, I know I'm stranded.
What do I do? My kids aren't of age to
drive yet. How do I get my keys? No way.
So I'm sitting talking to Darryl and Michael Carr was
at that wedding. His daughter was the one that married
my friend's son. And uh boy, what a what a
(24:58):
treasure he is fide A Rose, so many great songs
known by the Scars. And I'm sitting with d W
and Stevie and and so d W looks at me
and I bring up that you know, I'm stranded. I
don't know what I'm gonna do. My keys are in
my pants at home. This was prior to Uber too.
Probably Oh well, I mean no, I probably could have.
Maybe there was Uber. And so d W looks at
me and goes, well, take my car. I said, what
(25:23):
I could? He just hands me the keys. He goes,
just take my car home, and I thought, wow, I
mean that's generous, right, you know. And then Stevie looks
at me. He goes, and be careful. That's his baby.
He's had like this one car that he really loves
and has kept and it is. It's immaculate. It looks
brand new. And so then I don't know, in the
course of the evening, we start telling some stories about
(25:46):
me getting pulled over and then my car accident, you know,
and all this stuff. Then about thirty minutes later, the
bride and the groom are dancing and d w walks
up to me. I'm standing there watching this beautiful father
daughter more and he goes, Michael, oh yeah, I no
longer feel comfortable you're driving my car. Give me those
(26:08):
keys back. I just word of God, Stevie, and I
will drive you home. Then you can get your keasy,
come back and get your car. I no longer feel comfortable.
So then the whole evening goes on, and it ends
with Andrew and I getting in the back seat with
Stevie and Daryl Waltrip and I'm getting an uber from
(26:29):
Darryl Waltrip. The legend and the whole Let me tell you,
people always say, did he drive fat? It was the
smoothest you want to talk about a moment where you're
just like, you know, nothing can happen to me right now?
Could I be any safer? Darryl Waltrip is driving me,
and I'm looking at his hands on the steering wheel,
(26:51):
and at this point I know, I'm like, Darrel, I
still look at your hands on the steering wheel, and
I'm Marvel and I go, were you kind of a
ten and two guy? And then he starts giving me
a lesson because all the kids today are driving three
and nine or ten and two. Sure, And he taught
me a trick and it's one hand eleven. And he
(27:12):
was saying, now, remember they go around the track counterclockwise.
But basically all you do is point your fist where
you want to go. It's not even anything you got
to think about. And I thought it's brilliant. Then I
got my car and I did it. It's a great story.
But Daryl Walter d w look at how I met him,
We become friends. He's gonna give me his car. I
(27:34):
changed the tires in a pit. He's gonna give me
his car that after hearing some stories, he no longer
feels comfortable. I got out of him, and I thought,
only in America, only as a child of God can
this happen people that I grew up. It's like when
I'm hanging out with john Ford Coley. I mean, I
can see myself sit in an Indian style in my
(27:55):
room listening to his albums. Now I'm friends with them,
but I mean, out of all my stories, I got
a new berg from Darryl Waltrs. That's a very good story.
The champd W. Buggety, Boo Booge and Buggety seventy eight
years old today. I'm so glad you were for first term.
So glad you're alive. Can't believe you didn't trust me
with your car, but thanks for the uber ride home.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
This is your morning show with Michael del Choono.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Can't have your morning show without you though your voice,
and no longer do you wait on hold for a
talk show host to come to you instantly. You can connect,
sit down at the breakfast table with all of us
and let your voice be heard. Ask a question, make
a comment. Use the talk back line on your iHeartRadio app.
It's a little microphone. You pressed it, it'll count you
down and you can make your comment or ask your
(28:43):
question and you're immediately a part of the show, as
it should be on your show. Israeli Prime Minister bb Netanyah,
who is giving credit to President Trump for the ceasefire
deal in the Gaza protesters want Congress to block Trump's
agenda unless he restricts the actions of Elon Musk keep
bar waste, day bar waste their chanting, and the NFL
(29:05):
is removing end racism. Would we say the new messages
something love chews Love, Choose Love is replacing end racism
in the end zone messaging of the Superdome in New
Orleans for the Super Bowl. And speaking of the Super Bowl,
Chris Myers, play by play guy for Fox ESPN for decades,
started his second job I believe of his career was
New Orleans. He was our local sports guy. We're going
(29:26):
to catch back up with each other and preview this
big matchup between the Chiefs and the Eagles. I know
nobody wanted to see it, but really, when you start
x's and oing and looking at key players and matchups
should be a heck of a football game. We'll preview
it for you coming up. There is no bigger story
than Donald Trump beginning to lay out the vision of
the riviera of the Middle East, US ownership of the
(29:49):
Gaza Strip that was revealed in the news conference with
BBNET yea who at the White House and our very
own John Decker was there. I know because I saw
him several times as I was watching. Good Morning John.
Speaker 7 (30:00):
Hey, good morning to you, Michael. I hope you're doing
well today.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I'm doing great. Okay, Well, that was one out of
the blue. I wasn't expecting. You know, reaction is starting
to come in from around the world. What was the
reaction in the room when Donald Trump brought up the
possibilities of US ownership of the Gaza Strip And how
does all of this lay play out and where does
(30:23):
it go from here?
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Well, I think it's fair to say that jaws dropped.
Trump said that. I think that's a pretty accurate read
on the room. I heard some murmurings around me in
the seat that I was in, not far from where
President Trump was talking when he said that. So we'll
have to see. You know, this is the latest of
(30:45):
President Trump's territorial ambitions. He's talked about Canada as a
fifty first date. He's spoken about buying Greenland, and he's
talking about getting back to Panama Canal. And now this,
which is ownership of the guys A strip. Had not
heard that one before. Although it's not a new idea.
The idea you look it up first post in May
(31:09):
of last year by a person named Jared Kushner. Jared Kushner,
who of course is President Trump's son in law, who
is now involved in the real estate business in a
big way and would love to develop all of that
land that's on the Mediterranean, that's in Gaza.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
I do want to do something that's going to make
you mad and say, I mean, first of all, he's
a Supreme Court bar attorney. He's been a White House
correspondent for eight presidencies, all right, and I love him
so like in real life, this is going on and
I'll text him, I'll go, what do you make of it?
And he always responds to saying, way, I just report
the news. I mean, you're never even there for friend,
(31:47):
all right. So here were my reactions. You know, you
bring up that laundry list. As you can see, a
deal has already been made in Panama concerning China. Canada
has already got a thirty day pause, one point three
billion headed to the border with a fentanyl Czar Mexico
thirty day pause, ten thousand troops coming to the border.
(32:08):
I don't think it was ever about Canada being the
fifty first state as much as Donald Trump using it
and negotiating. So that makes me suspicious. Could this be
something like that? But I will say this, John, you
can make fun of it all you want, but the
reality is, if you look any of the footage, how
can these Palestinians return to rubble and have any kind
of life? And what breaks this fifty year cycle? So
(32:29):
make fun of the idea, and it was out of
the blue, But does anybody have a better idea?
Speaker 7 (32:34):
Well, I have heard better ideas, and that is the
Arab countries in the region, which have a lot of
money developing Gaza and rebuilding Gaza. That's what I've heard about.
And as it relates to reaction, not a good reaction
from the leaders of Jordan, from Egypt, from Saudi Arabia.
I haven't heard specifically anecdotal reactions from Palestinians that now
(32:59):
live in but I'm sure they're not excited about the
prospect of being kicked out of their home. Two million
Gosins lived there and they would be moved out indefinitely,
and no talk of what the international community has called
for and what former presidents, including at one point President Trump,
(33:20):
called for, which is a two state solution, a free
Palestinian state and autonomous Palestinian state side by side with
the state of Israel. That's not happening under Donald Trump's vision.
I think that's one of the reasons why you saw
Benjamin net Yahoo, the Israeli Prime Minister, really in a
good place yesterday. You know, you could tell by his
(33:41):
body language he really likes the fact that Donald Trump
is president rather than his predecessor Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, there was no question about that. Game credit for
the cease fire deal. All right, Well, we'll see where
it goes. I think the President made it clear in
a Q and a response that the Palestinians, along with
the people of the world, would all live there in
a safe place with great jobs and beautiful, beautiful buildings
and restaurants. It was bizarre. There doesn't seem to be
(34:07):
any reaction or support. I don't know that it goes
anywhere but time will tell and you were there, John Decker,
thanks for joining us.
